Brand: Kenmore

Age: 5 - 10 years

Refigerator seems to run constantly and the front area (door stop) between the freezer and refrigerator is constanly hot. Besides that all seems to be working, including the ice maker. I have recently cleaned the coils at the bottom. Should I be concerned?

Many thanks,

Pat Donohue

Some refrigerators have coils in the wall to prevent condensation. Some also have a switch to adjust this function. Make sure the condenser fan runs when the compressor is running. Some warmth is normal.
